Overview
- Ross Chastain’s push turned race leader Bubba Wallace into the wall during Stage 2 on Sunday, triggering a massive multi-car wreck on Lap 115 that brought out a red flag.
- The pileup involved roughly 26 to 30 cars, with only three to four getting through clean, including Ryan Preece, Chris Buescher and Chastain.
- Wallace climbed out, was cleared at the infield care center, and told FOX he takes responsibility because his car did not handle pushes well.
- Multiple contenders suffered race-ending or severe damage as the race later restarted with a reduced lead lap, with Kyle Larson finishing last and Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski and William Byron sent to the garage.
- The crash followed an earlier green-flag pit cycle that produced speeding and safety penalties for several teams, underscoring how tight-pack superspeedway racing can turn a single bad bump into a field-stopping incident.
